Back to newsSeveral Greek island destinations recorded stronger-than-expected visitor numbers at the start of the 2026 tourism season, according to reporting from Dimokratiki tis Rodou. While specific figures were not detailed in the available excerpt, early-season performance across the Aegean suggests growing traveler interest in destinations beyond peak summer months. For tourists planning a trip to Crete or the wider Greek islands, this trend points to better availability and potentially lower prices in the shoulder season months of May and early June, though accommodations and flights are filling faster than in previous years. Booking ahead is advisable, particularly for popular areas in eastern and northern Crete. The full regional breakdown of which destinations performed best was not included in the published content.
